The organized labor strike at Akure Airport has effectively halted flight operations, leaving passengers stranded on Monday.
A circulating video depicts frustrated passengers denied entry, with some sitting on the ground, highlighting the impact of the strike called by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) over unresolved issues regarding a new minimum wage.
The cancellation of all flights has led to widespread traveler frustration and logistical challenges nationwide.
The footage captures the scene of passengers barred from accessing the airport, waiting for updates, while aviation security personnel and police are seen stationed at key points.
